Vinted packages arrive late or at different locations when delivery system is full
Vinted is experiencing capacity issues within its VintedGo locker network, leading to shipment delays and the rerouting of packages to alternative pickup locations. To address the problem, the company is seeking to expand its infrastructure while urging customers to collect their items quickly to keep the lockers available.
The VintedGo delivery network, which utilizes approximately eighteen thousand turquoise locker locations across Europe, is currently facing capacity issues due to surging demand. When these automated lockers become full, users may experience significant delays in receiving their second-hand goods, or packages may be rerouted to alternative pickup points in neighboring towns. The company is actively seeking to expand its network, particularly in regions like the Netherlands and Belgium, to accommodate the increasing volume of shipments.
Despite these logistical challenges, Vinted continues to see robust financial growth, reporting over 1 billion euros in revenue for 2025. The platform, led by Dutch CEO Thomas Plantenga, recently expanded its operations into countries such as Latvia, Estonia, and Slovenia, with further plans for growth in the United States. To mitigate current storage problems, Vinted encourages customers to retrieve their packages promptly and offers the option to select alternative third-party delivery services through their mobile application.
